Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
"Does Master want to go in and look?" Fan asked directly.
Fang Ruotang doesn't want to reveal that Fan can open and close the secret realm right now. After all, there are so many resources in the secret realm, who knows if someone will be so heartless as to slay a dragon.
Since dragons are treasures from head to toe, even without the allure of a secret realm, people would still covet them. The presence of a secret realm only adds to their value.
[Can't you check directly? If so, I'll enter the secret realm again.]
Fan looked at Fang Ruotang in surprise, as if she had said something outrageous.
“Master, in the dragon race, at my current age, I am still just a young dragon.”
"So?" Fang Ruotang asked, puzzled. Does this have anything to do with age?
"I'm not as amazing as you think."
This secret realm somehow suddenly became connected to his ancestor's forbidden area, and he just happened to sneak into the forbidden area that day.
He can freely go anywhere in the secret realm, and even move mountains and overturn seas, but that doesn't mean he can control everything inside.
The main reason is that he can use divine power in the secret realm, so moving mountains and overturning seas is a piece of cake for him.
But once he left the secret realm, he clearly sensed that his divine power was imprisoned. This was something he had expected. Although it was his first time descending to the God Realm, there were many precedents of God Realm people sneaking down to the mortal world.
If one were to use divine power in the mortal realm, they might suffer a backlash, each time more severe than the last, and in the end, they might even have to stand on the judgment seat and receive divine punishment, which could lead to the complete annihilation of their soul and spirit.
Fortunately, this is the world of cultivation, where there is spiritual power, so he won't be completely powerless. Otherwise, he would really find it hard to get used to it.
"This doesn't work?" Fang Ruotang looked at Fan in surprise, clearly not expecting him to be so useless.
For example, she could clearly see the many ants inside the Emperor's Banner in her hand.
"No!" Fan looked embarrassed and awkward.
On the other hand, Gu Yanjin and his six companions were quite pleased. After all, this Fan was stronger than them from the moment he appeared, and now that they were seeing him suffer a setback, they couldn't be happier.
"But I can do it." Fang Ruotang stared at Fan with her big, bright eyes and asked, "Is it because you don't know how? Why don't you learn and try? What if you can do it!"
Otherwise, the secret realm is so vast that if she ran into every corner to search, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Most importantly, if Yin Yue's soul is really inside, even if she is unconscious, it will be floating around, not a dead thing that stays in one place and doesn't move.
"Then... shall I learn?" Fan replied somewhat uncertainly.
Little Mirror couldn't help but ask.
"My lord, why don't you do it yourself? Why don't you just refine this entire secret realm directly?"
[Me? Isn't this Brahma's? I can refine it?]
[What do you mean "him"? His relationship with this secret realm is roughly like your family's relationship with the capital—a connection that's inexplicable. Your refining skills are far superior to his aimless guessing, and besides, I don't think he's really capable.]
How do I refine it?
You can do whatever you want.
Is this really such a perfunctory response?
The little mirror was speechless; this was no mere perfunctory response.
All three thousand worlds, large and small, are within Fang Ruotang's body. As for a mere secret realm, she could simply refine and make it her own whenever she wanted!
【How about you enter the secret realm, use your blood to draw Dao patterns, and seize control of the secret realm?】
That's more like it! You were making it sound like a joke.
【hehe! 】
That's like taking off your pants to fart—it's unbelievable.
The little mirror has something to say; the little mirror is feeling aggrieved.
"How did you enter the secret realm? Is this the only entrance? Can we go in from another place?" Fang Ruotang casually set up a protective shield to prevent those people from eavesdropping again.
Fan said, "I can sense the coordinates of the secret realm; there is only one entrance."
Fang Ruotang was genuinely starting to look down on Fan. This divine beast from the God Realm was nothing special! She was far more powerful than Fan, who never faced so many restrictions in her actions.
[I've refined the secret realm, but will it end up like Fan's? If so, I don't want it anymore. It's such a hassle to go to someone else's territory to enter the secret realm every time!]
The little mirror was speechless. The adult had completely forgotten her original intention in refining the secret realm.
[No! You are now the owner of the secret realm, so naturally you can open the entrance wherever you want. Just like some sects, they refine their small worlds using magical artifacts, and they decide when and where to open them.]
That's good!
Fang Ruotang immediately felt relieved.
A quick glance revealed that most of the people had left, as most had found something good in the secret realm. As for the rogue cultivators, they had already run away at the beginning, afraid of being left behind and becoming easy prey.
As for the other sects, the feud between the Weapon Refining Sect and the Tianyi Sect had nothing to do with them, and they weren't particularly interested in watching the drama unfold. Besides, the team leader was also eager to bring the disciples back to their sect safely.
Furthermore, disciples from almost all sects suffered injuries within the secret realm.
Except for Tianyi Sect, because Tianyi Sect is cunning enough.
Fang Ruotang had already instructed them to gather immediately upon entering the secret realm. Even if they couldn't find a team right away, they should try to survive. There was no reason to risk their lives for a little bit of supplies.
Always remember one thing: life is the most important thing.
Only when you're alive can you talk about the future.
Doing so will reduce opportunities, since enlightenment is more likely to come in battles or life-or-death situations, just like Fang Wantang and Shishi.
But Fang Ruotang was always confident, and she felt that these disciples had the greatest opportunity to meet her.
See, isn't that proof enough?
Once she has refined the secret realm, she will modify the mechanism so that her Tianyi Sect disciples can train inside and be teleported out if they die, but the injuries sustained inside the secret realm will not affect their original bodies outside.
Of course, this was Fang Ruotang's suggestion. She didn't force all her disciples to listen, since everyone has their own opportunities on the path of cultivation.
The couple from the Tianyan Array Sect waited patiently, though they were careful to keep their distance. The disciples of the Tianyan Array Sect had already boarded the spirit boat long ago.
But cultivators in the cultivation world can hear anything they want from this distance.
Therefore, even if it wasn't intentional, they knew immediately when Fang Ruotang removed the protective shield and looked over.
Fang Ruotang had noticed the two earlier. When she was confronting the weapon refining sect, Sect Master Zhuang and the Grand Elder led their sect disciples to walk behind them.
Although to outsiders they seemed to be just joining in for the spectacle, Fang Ruotang knew they were actually taking sides.
Other sects that had established diplomatic relations with her were more interested in watching the show, but Fang Ruotang didn't care. After all, they were just disciples who probably didn't know about her relationship with their sects.
